Technical Officials Qualifications

At TBSS Central City Swimming we strongly encourage parents of swimmers to be involved in both your child’s success and the success of the club.

As TBSS is run by volunteer parents we need your help, from team managers, timekeepers to senior officials. Without support from parents we are not able to tender and successfully run swim meets.

Once you have qualified as a timekeeper it is possible to train as an inspector of turns (IOT) - again without parents acting in this capacity we would not be able to run any Swimming New Zealand sanctioned swim meets. If you are interested, please contact any of our club officials who can get things started for you.
